Hood Villains

[Interlude 1]
Yo cuz', I'ma tell you who to blame
It's them dope dealers standing on the corner killing our people

[Verse 1]
Drug dealers on the corner serving crack or marijuana
Heroin if you wanna shoot it up then they can juice you up
Supplying the demand of every woman or man and
The object is to keep them coming back again and again and again and again and again
Keep em' hook, destroying families and leaving everybody shook
Remember that look when you first find somebody in your family high off dope and you knew the dealer that sold it to em'
The dope boys make it look so sexy though
New cars, yeah yeah, they be flexing though
And the big cash impressive though
And he stay with a dime that let's you know
Party never popping til' the dopeboys show up
Dopeboy buy out the bar and the club go up
Sign to the dopeboy label and you probably blow up
Hey, I wanna be like him when I grow up
Hood villains

[Chorus]
What's the problem?
In the hood
We got the fight the problem cuz' it ain't good
If you don't like the problem then work on it

[Interlude 2]
I'll tell you who the problem is:
It's those uncle toms coming from the hood and never giving back

[Verse 2]
From rich entrepreneurs to college educated
Corporate executives up the ladder who climbed and made it
To professional athletes and entertainers who claiming that they from the hood
But never giving back to the hood
They dangerous
They treating they family members like they don't know em'
Wait, ain't these the people who raised you when you were no one?
Running round smelling nasty, looking dirty and ashy
Now you making six figures and figure, oh what, you classy?
See, people from the hood like to claim they hood
Because they earned some credibility whenever they name their hood
But, their's a younger version of you that's still stuck in the hood
If you ain't giving back or tryna' motivate, you ain't no good
Nah, you ain't no good
Man, you ain't no good
Ain't got no feelings, you numb
You ain't no good
Call us angry and dumb, you ain't no good
You ain't no good
But, you don't take care of your son, you ain't no good
Hood villain

[Chorus]
What's the problem?
In the hood
We got the fight the problem cuz' it ain't good
If you don't like the problem then work on it

[Interlude 3]
Everyone listen, the real problem is the system
America's been holding us down since the beginning
Since slavery

[Verse 3]
Do you believe in institutional racism?
I hope you do cuz' it's true and trust me, everyone's a victim
Listen, it's been discrimination ever since slavery
Now, it's racial profiling, before I leave the house, pray for me
If I'm wearing a hoodie, I might get shot
It don't help I'm from New Orleans and I got dreadlocks
Man, let me tell you what's real
The school-prison pipeline
Have you in special education
When you in your right mind
Oh boy
Plus, they got the music on the radio programming us
Keep us dancing while they brainwashing us and scamming us
Cramming us a bunch of violence and a bunch of sex
If you ain't strong enough to rise above the trap, it'll get you next
The court system is crooked, the sentencing is harsh
Free Mac by the way, Mckinley Phipps, yeah, that's my heart
Difficulty gaining employment even if you qualified
If your application say Shaniqua, you probably won't get hired

[Chorus]
What's the problem?
In the hood
We got the fight the problem cuz' it ain't good
If you don't like the problem then work on it

[Interlude 4]
I need all the little girls to sing this part, let go!

[Outro]
My mama told me that I'm a queen and I'm the best thing that this world ever seen
I love everything from my hair and feet
I got a bright future and no time to waste
My mama told me that I'm a queen and I'm the best thing that this world ever seen
I love everything from my hair and feet
I keep a smile on my face cuz' life is great
